I’ll confess. I am half posting this to help assist in generating conversation in this community.

But I am genuinely curious: Is it worth it to change out coolers / power plants? I changed out my Taurus’s quantum drive and it was hugely helpful, so I’m kind of exploring what other upgrades I could make.

What component upgrades have you tried? Were they helpful or noticable?

Thanks all!

    Right now, no. Changing them out won’t have any affect. The power consumption and heat aren’t in the game yet.

      I thought they had an effect on EM/IM detection ranges (ie: stealth gameplay), but after looking around it seems those mechanics have been broken since 3.11?

      I knew that component stats were all normalized a while back but I had no idea that affected IR + EM emission data.
